Ahh... When I was told that I would receive an "item from home" for attending the Tanabata ball, I was expecting something along the lines of a hand towel or a gift basket. Instead, I find a car parked outside. I suppose it must have been mine to begin with, seeing as how one of the keys I had with me upon my arrival fits into the ignition. However

There seems to be a dramatic increase in the number of vehicles on the island following this ball. It seems a bit ill-spent, considering that most of the roads here aren't very drivable, but now that there's an increased demand, maybe that will change.

Perhaps, although I've been wondering about acquiring additional gasoline myself. It's rather pointless to have a car if it won't run, even ignoring the lack of suitable roads.

Oh? So you actually decided to think about it.

[lme_leadingman]

Yes. Thank you very much for that suggestion.

[captureherheart]

Oh . . . no problem. I bet you would have done it yourself eventually, anyway.

Uhh. And you got a car? That's pretty . . .

[lme_leadingman]

Pretty unusual, you mean? It was rather unexpected, yes.

I may have come to a similar conclusion eventually, but oftentimes people require that initial suggestion to convince them to make a move, so I thank you for that.
